Title of Lesson:Two for One! Take a Science Adventure and Learn a New Tech Skill All at Once!
Description of Lesson: In this lesson I am going to have the students make their very own podcasts, using Vocaroo, and am also going to give them an introduction to Global Warming with my own podcast.
Assignment: *Listen to the podcast I already made about Global Warming
(This podcast is a mini-lesson on global warming!) *Make your own podcast about what you are doing or would like to do to help out with fixing the problems we face because of Global Warming
Click here to listen to my podcast, made on Vocaroo, to find out just what you are going to be doing today!
Homework: *Show your podcast to someone at home! You can have some fun making your own podcasts with your family and friends!
Resources/Materials Needed: *Internet
Technology Reflection/Changing the Learning Environment: The kids are being provided the opportunity to really take their lessons beyond the classroom. I also think they might be more interested in the topic because of their level of interaction with it. This is eliminating the same old write a paragraph assignment and making it really come to life! Also, they are going to be using a very user-friendly program which will help eliminate frustrations and allow them to be more independent!
Evaluation: Again, the students are learning something that many people never have even known they could do themselves. I think they are going to be very interested in this one because they can have a lot of fun with it, and it won’t seem, to them, like they are doing a lot of work. However, they are still being required to put in the same effort they otherwise would if they were just writing, but they don’t actually have to get it down in words. Also, this could be a really great opportunity for kids who struggle with expressing their thoughts in writing!
